By applying for membership at CA you are agreeing to follow the Rules and Guidelines listed below, understand that any prejudice against race, religion, thoughts, opinions, etc. will not be tolerated, will treat every member with respect and maturity, will be safe on the internet and never give out personal information, be active and thoughtful in literate roleplay, and will accept any and all consequences for breaking these rules. Understand that rules are subject to change.
Throughout the SiteRESPECT This rules goes for all visiting or joining CA. We are a friendly and respectful site, and we expect you to act in the same way. There will be no bullying or harassment on CA; we have no tolerance for it, and any bullying will result in an automatic suspension. If you have an issue with another member, PM them outlining the problem in a respectful and adult manner. If the problem continues, contact staff and the issue will be dealt with.
LANGUAGE Serious and extreme curse words are not to be said out of character, IC maybe so. Damn and hell are allowed in-character, because they are not usually found horribly offensive. No excessive use. Swear words are aloud in the role-play, as they can help shape characters' personalities and histories.
STAFF RULES The staff's word is law. Ultimately, the staff of the site decide what goes and what doesn't. Consulate a staff member if you are worried about breaking a rule, or you feel a rule is unfair. Also feel welcome to contact us (privately or publicly) about any issues you are having with our site, or any ideas you might have about improving our roleplay.
IC VS. OOC Just because someone's character dislikes your character, it does not mean they dislike you as a person; it is all just roleplay. Please do not get upset if a conflict arises between your felines. If you feel the characters should be friends instead (or the argument should have turned another way), just talk to the member about it. Roleplay is about communication.
Clan Roster
if your wolf has just been accepted, Send Storm a PM with their Name, Gender, Pack, and Link to their bio. This will help us keep up with the Pack Rosters.
HIGH & STAFF POSITIONS High positions in our roleplay include Alpha, Beta, Delta and Shaman. High positions are not the same thing as staff; high positions are merely in-character roles. High-positioners have no extra duties or abilities other than roleplaying their character. Staff members, on the other hand, are in control of the site, monitor biographies and acceptance, and create plots and skins. A member may have only one high position, however, a member may have both a high position and a staff position. The amount of staff positions are limited.
Character SpecificsNAMING & REALISM While we want you to be creative in your character naming, you also must think in the mind of an animal, and in the mind of the pack. Pups are named within the first few days of life, and personality cannot be determined within that length of time. You must also follow the laws of physics, gravity, and genetics. Wolves do not have green fur, bright wings, control lightning, or see into the future.

Roleplaying & PostingBASICS No graphic breeding, birthing, or gory battles. If you feel you need to roleplay our this graphic content, do it through PM. We have varied age groups on our site, so please be considerate. The other normal roleplay rules apply: no godmodeling or powerplaying. All in-character posts must be in third person, past tense.
LITERACY We are a semi-literate roleplay, and therefore expect you to write with literacy. Use correct spelling and grammar, and read over your work before making a post. There will be no tolerance for chatspeak in roleplay. Some writers like to leave every word lowercase, for effect; this is acceptable. Word count is 250 words minimum. However, every post you make should use all your characters senses, along with providing some sort of action or thought. The golden rule with post length is that you need to give the other person enough to respond to. What you give is more or less what you should expect to receive in return.
MULTIPLE THREADS You are allowed to have as many thread on going at once, we follow liquid time here. But don't have like 10 thread at once, for you're bound to forget about them.

Activity RulesACTIVE Being active, by our standards, means that you log in at least three times a week, and make a complete roleplay post at least once a week. We understand (especially during the school year) that life off CA should be your major priority, and we understand and encourage that philosophy. However, you are considered inactive if you have not logged on in at least three weeks. These rules do not apply if you have posted a note in the General board or PMed an Admin.

INACTIVE If you have not logged into CA in at least three weeks, then you are considered inactive, and at risk of losing your characters and possibly your account. An admin will PM you, asking for the reason behind your long absence. If you do not respond in two weeks, your account will be put on suspension. You then have an additional two weeks to reclaim your place on our site before your account is deleted.
